Well as I was looking over past posts, I thought that I need to get my act together and start posting about our lives again. I don't have any pictures yet. Let's face the fact that I hardly take any photos at all. I am going to rectify that situation in the next couple of months. But probably more like years.
Quick update:
Jeff is still working at Spillman and is loving that. I love how hard he works for us. This weekend we are going on an extended holiday vacation and my parents have been kind enough to watch our kids so it will be just us.
Last summer Jeff and I went to a basketball officiating camp where we both had a wonderful time. Half way through the camp the evaluators were telling Jeff that I should become a high school official. So after a couple of months of deciding if I could do it. I made the jump and became a high school official. So the last couple of months have been extremely busy for my family. There are some weeks where I am gone 5-6 days of the week officiating. I do love it and the money has been a nice little bonus. My chapter of the UHSAA officials voted me Rookie of the Year for this season. I was shocked and it made me feel that all of my hard work was not for nothing.
Another change that has come is that Jeff and I are no longer in the Primary. We got released when I got put in as the Relief Society Secretary. I am busier during the week, but I love organizing and making little handout so I am having a lot of fun. I am still in the stake and TCC Young Women sports, but I will be released at the end of the basketball season in the next couple of weeks from the Stake. Which will be nice because I am way to busy for it.
Dallin is now in the fourth grade and he is doing wonderfully. The first term he actually only got 1 C and the rest were As. This last term he pulled up the C to an A. He is really excited that he got all As. He finally doesn't fight us whenever he has to read for homework. The school signed them up for something Razkids and that has helped him read books.
Isaac is in first grade and he loves it as well. He isn't as social as Dallin, but he does have his moments when he bothers the kids next to him. He is a wonderful learner and can do math at a drop of a hat. He is a wonderful boy and will turn 8 this year. We hope that he chooses to be baptized. In the summer and the fall both of the boys chose to play soccer. In last spring both of them loved playing. Isaac more than Dallin. In fact Isaac scored a couple of goals. In the fall Isaac moved up to where he actually had to play positions and it wasn't as fun for him. We also didn't like that it took up all of the Saturdays in the Spring so that we couldn't go hiking.
Kaden is a joy. We still have a hard time not referring to him as a baby. In fact he calls himself baby. We are trying to break him of that, but it is just so cute when he calls himself a baby. He loves to play with balls and thinks that every ball is a soccer ball. He really liked to watch his older brothers play soccer. We got him his own tiny soccer ball and we would take it to the games and watch him kick it around on the side line.
The Sunday before Thanksgiving while we were visiting Jeff's parents, Kaden decided to play on the couch and he ended up breaking his collar bone. It was quite an adventure to get it diagnosed. It took 1 emergency room visit and an instacare visit to finally get it diagnosed. We then took him to a specialist after Thanksgiving and Kaden had to wear a brace for about a month. He was such a trooper. It was really sad to see him so miserable. There were a couple of days where Jeff and I just held him. We love that little man. He is all healed and back to his tricks of falling off the arm of the couch to the middle of couch. That boy will never learn.
Well I think I highlighted a couple of the best points. I know this was suppose to be quick but who can really make almost a year's worth of stuff into a paragraph. I will be back with more pictures and more explanations.
